evlwm it may concern it known that I, MORRIS Name, a citifzenf'ofthe United States, residing at. New

Yorkcity, ,inthe county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented certain 15-; new and useful Improvements in Stationary Washboilets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exactdeinvention is to provide a wash boiler 'conv 115 invention relates to a stationary wash boiler, and the primary object of the struction which includes a detergent chambe]: and a heating chamber positioned beneath the detergent chamber and provided for receiving a gas stove, or any other suitableheating element for heating water within the'detergent chamberof'the boiler.

7 provide aremovableasbestos lined rear wall which-is spacedfrom the rear wall roper o'ff'the chambers of the boiler.and which is, n25.

providedwith an opening extending therethrough to permit of the escape of gases from the'space' between the auxiliary remov able wall and the main wall of the boiler,

which heated gases pass from the heating chamber, to an opening in the rear wall thereof into the space between'the auxiliary wall and. the ma n wall.

A still further objectof this invention is to provide an attachment for permitting of the escape". of steam from thedetergent chamber and also" for permitting of the ontl'etoi a surplus amount of water from the new provi' e a conmion'outlet for the steam or overflow passage and the outlet of the ent chamber of the boiler, and'also detergent or cleaning chamber of the boiler. "J'With thefiforegoing and other ob]ects'1n vie this'dnve'nt on consists in such novel features, of construction, combinat on and arrangement of part-sv as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyindrawings and claimed,

In des'cri i'ng'the invention in detail referce will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like. characters designate like and corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved boiler.

11,21, as clearly s own in te draw- 11 26 formed in the rear Wall 21. The slot 26 permits the heated gases to pass from the chamber or compartment 5 into the space 25 and outwardly through an opening 27 which,

isiformed in the removable back 22. Suitable buttons 28 are carried by the edges of the sides of the body 1 for holding the removable back 22 in its proper position.

The partition 3 is provided with a drain or outlet opening 28, which is normally closed by a plug 29. Theoutlet opening 28 communicates with the interior of a chamber 30 which is formed in the extension 31. flhe extension 31 projects downwardly from .the under surface of the partition. 3 at the inner 'rear corner of the same and it has communication with any suitable drain or outlet waste pipe by a nipple 32 for per- -mit-ting the draining of the detergent com- 'partment of the stationary boiler.

The rear wall 21 is provided with a pair of overflow openings 33 formed.'therein near its upper edge, which overflow opening "delivers into the interior of a member 33' which is attached to the outer surface of the rear wall 21 in any suitable manner. A pipe 32L commun cates w th the lower end of the member 33' and with the interior of the compartm nt 30, for permitt ng of the overflow of wa ,er out/of the detergentchainher 4 of the boiler into the outlet chamber 30. The opening 33' will further permit steam; which s formed in 'thebollerto pass intothe'inember 33' and upon condensation therein travel downwardly into the chamber 30.

()pcnings'35' are formed in the back wall 21 which openings are prm-ided for receiving 'iip'es for filling tjie compartment 4 With The side so of the body lhas its upper corner cutaway as shown; at 37, to provide an opening tor permitting water supply pipes to ext nd along the rear surl'accfot' the partition 1 for comn'mnication with the interior of the chamber -1 through the openings In the use of the improved stalionarv boiler, the clothes to be washed are placed upon the tray 1',and'posz'tioncd within the compartment .L al'tor which the required A removable back 22 'is, provided amount of water is run into the compartinent 1, through ordinary water inlet pipes through the openings. 35. After the required amount of water has been run into the compartment 4, the heating element indicated. by the numeral 17 is ignited, for heating the water Within the boiler. The heated gases will pass from the compartment 5 through the opening 26 into the space 25and outwardly through the opening 27. If it is so desired, the opening :27 may have communication with the chimney of a house. I

Any steam which might be forced within the compartment, 4; will pass outwardly through the openings 33 into the member 33, and upon condensation thereof will travel downwardly through this member, the

pipes 34 into the chamber 30 and outwardly through the drain 32.

The door 12 is provided for permitting ready access to the interior of the compartment 5 and for preventing the heated gases from passing outwardly out of the front side'of the boiler. v

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings the advantages of construction and 'of'the -method of operation of the improved-Sta tionary wash boiler-will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to whichgthis invent-ionappertain's and while in the foregoing description, the principle of the operation of this invention has been described together with various features of construction, it is to be understoodthat certain ininor features 'of oonstruction', combination and arrangement of parts may be altered to suit practical conditions provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of What is claimed.

\Vhat is claimed is In a stationary boiler, a casing: havingan upper open end, a horizontal partitionsecured within the casing, a perforated tray supported upon the horizontal partition, said partition dividing the eas ng into an upper detergent chamber and a lower lieatmg chamber, and an auxiliary rear wall secured to the casing and spaced from the rear wall thereofieach of said walls being propidcd with outlet openings to permit of'the escape'ot' steam and heat from the casing.

In testimony whereof I afi'ix my signature in presence ofitwo witness-cs.
